Commercial Sunshade Awning for your Business | France Fabric

WIL LIAM WONG • March 22, 2022

If you ever wondered how a commercial sunshade can transform your business, try this little experiment. Stand one block away from your business premises; it can be on the other side of the parking lot or a similar distance, and look at the exterior of your store.


Imagine your storefront without the commercial sunshade. What does it look like? How does it look compared to the neighbouring storefronts? 


If you find that your storefront is barely visible from afar, you might want to consider adding a commercial sunshade to improve your business’ visibility.


Having a commercial sunshade for your business not only helps to transform your business into something that is more welcoming to everyone, but it also helps to protect your employees and customers from Malaysia’s extreme weather conditions.


In this article, we will discuss how a commercial sunshade can transform your business. And if you are looking to install one, consider hiring a team of professionals in Malaysia.



Benefits of Installing Commercial Sunshades for Your Business


There are countless benefits to installing a commercial sunshade for your business. Aside from improving brand visibility, commercial sunshades offer shelter for guests while boldly promoting your business's brand name and services. That said, let's take a look at the benefits.


1. Gives off a strong first impression


Surely you have heard of the phrase that goes, “First impression matters”. Well, this phrase not only applies when you are meeting someone new but it also applies to business storefronts. Besides, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes that make use of commercial sunshades to distinguish themselves from the neighbouring stores.


Hence, if you’re running a business in your neighbourhood or elsewhere, having a commercial sunshade will help boost the curb appeal by sprucing up the building’s façade. It can also be used as a branding solution by displaying your business’ brand name and logo, allowing customers to easily find your business location.


2. Increases usable space


If you own a restaurant or café, a commercial sunshade can increase the usable space while making the outdoor spaces more comfortable for your customers to spend their time lounging and eating your food items.


Additionally, non-food related businesses can utilise commercial sunshades for added sidewalk space, which can create an area to hold sidewalk sales or clearance racks which will immediately attract your customers' attention.


3. Provides shade and shelter


We all know what it is like scurrying about to find a shade or shelter when there’s a sudden downpour. It is inevitable with such weather conditions. Therefore, if your business premises has a commercial sunshade, many customers will consider stopping by your store to get out of the rain.


In addition, a storefront commercial sunshade can help improve your customers’ experience as they enter and exit your store. Not only that, but it also creates a safe working environment for your employees.


4. Reduces energy consumption


If there is one thing that can hamper your business profits, it is the unexpected cooling costs. When the temperature in your business premises goes up, your cooling system will likely consume more energy to reduce the indoor temperature. As such, it increases energy consumption.


With a commercial sunshade installed at the windows and doors, you get to make the premises more energy-efficient. Besides, UV-resistant sunshades will keep your interior spaces cooler by reducing sunlight. This cuts down on the workload of your A/C system, which will result in some savings for your business.


5. Promotes your brand daily


Unlike an advertisement that runs once or twice in the newspaper, a commercial sunshade can help promote your business brand daily. This is thanks to modern technology that allows you to customise the appearance of your commercial sunshade with your logo, colour scheme, or catchphrase.


As a result, this harnesses the visual interest in your storefront and strengthens your overall brand recognition. It is one way to self-advertise and market your business without having to shell out more money for a commercial.


In a nutshell, having a commercial sunshade for your business storefront brings more benefits than you can expect. Should you require further information about commercial sunshades, you can consult a specialist like M & N France Fabric Awning.
